Date Night

As a little celebration for our university grades and moving into the flat, my boyfriend's parents deciding to come and visit and treat us to a meal. They chose an Indian restaurant that neither me nor my boyfriend have eaten at before, but according to reviews was amazing.

I'm usually a little sceptical about new restaurants, especially ones where I don't know too much about the food. Due to this I played it relativity safe by ordering my usual - Chicken Tikka Masala, rice and two poppadoms. My boyfriend has previously recommended me trying a chapati (which is a type of bread if you didn't know) which is delicious - so I ordered one of these to.

Despite being a little cautious as first, it's safe to say I was not disappointed! The food was delicious and the atmosphere/service in the restaurant was amazing. The waiters were polite, with the food arriving at the perfect time (no-one likes to wait ages but feeling rushed isn't great either) and the décor was lovely - I wish I'd snapped a few photos.

As a nice little touch after the meal our waiter brought out some hot wipes for our hands and a chocolate each too which was such a lovely touch. If you're ever in the Birmingham area and fancy an Indian meal, I definitely recommend The Saffron.

After the meal we headed back home and each had a few drinks, a slice of home-made cheesecake (Oreo and white chocolate cheesecake - definitely thinking of writing a post about this - Yum!) and some chit-chat.

I love date nights, and this was made even more special by spending some time catching up with my boyfriends parents - perfect.
